HRS Damping Plate / RC Cars
1 Attachment(s)
I was into RC Cars pretty heavily 20+ years ago. I recently decided to get back into the hobby with a 1/8 scale AARMA Typhon.
In the meantime, I’m getting all the needed accessories. Boy has the hobby evolved! :eek: Here is my new RC Car stand with an HRS DPX Damping Plate as a weighted base. :p https://www.audioaficionado.org/atta...1&d=1610992580 |
Now that you are a "Cool Grandpa", RC Cars/Trucks make perfect sense again. :yes:
Go easy with the 1/8 scale and 70mph models, they pack a ton of energy as E=MC2 and something has to give when they meet a stationary object... Keep yourself and others away from its path. These are not the toys from 20 years ago. :no: I suggest a ramp for jumping action fun and learning to control the model in the air. :yes: |
I never knew you were into these things Ivan... I spent 2 months of the Covid lock down also building a Traxxas UDR and super customized it... but I found that after getting it running, the fun was gone... I liked the build process. Anyway, the costs of building my HiFi system took over and now I want to sell the car, but the time and money I put into it makes that hard.

Way cool.
I’ve wanted to get into Traxxas. Where does a guy like me get started (without opening the wallet too much). |

Do you want a more scale look and take it on trails as an off-road vehicle? Do you want to find a local racetrack and race? On road or Off Road? There are many themes and variations these days. On the low end of RC car fun you can do it for a few hundred bucks or it can get into the $1k plus range and higher for really big gas powered models. |
Some of my many other projects but this one does not like to drive on the road... :D https://youtu.be/lLvpV_uT8XU

Ivan, here is an Arrma that will get the adrenaline going. "Infraction"
Awesome for drifting practice. :D Only took me 35 seconds to get into a wreck on my street. :lmao: No big deal, it only took 5 min and $30 worth of parts to get it running again. https://youtu.be/XA355Bmi9U0 |
